Book excerpt: "When The Invention of Morel was first published in Argentina, Jorge Luis Borges rejoiced that the author had brought "a new genre to our land and language," The offspring of a fantastic, sometimes perverse, always persuasive imagination, Tlte Invention of Morel won for its author in 1941 the Primer Premio Municipal Award in Buenos Aires. Bioy Casares' indisputable originality, so apparent in the novella, is equally evident in the six short stories also included in this collection. Each story is an achievement of realism with curious surrealist overtones. In style, narrative technique, and off-beat imaginative insight, they coalesce to make a book full of power and impact, The volume is enhanced by drawings by Norah Borges de Torre, sister of Jorge Luis Borges, The translator, Ruth L, C. Simms, has traveled extensively in South America and is well acquainted with Spanish and Latin American literature."--Page 4 of cover.
